Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
Ensure both the board and remote are off. Hold the power button on the board and the power button on the remote simultaneously for about 3 seconds until they pair.
Backfire boards are water-resistant but not waterproof. You can ride through small puddles, but avoiding water is recommended to prevent damage to the electronics and bearings. Water damage is generally not covered under warranty.
Backfire typically offers a 6-month (180-day) limited warranty on parts starting from the date the board is received.
On most Backfire remotes (like the Halo remote), you can switch between Eco, Sport, and Turbo modes by pressing the designated mode button or interacting with the menu system as described in your specific model's manual.
